The book Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins, is one of my favorite books and I really enjoyed reading it. The reason I liked reading the book is because when I started reading the first book called The Hunger Games, I couldn't keep my eyes off of it and I couldn't wait to read the next book in the series. This is what I really liked about "Catching Fire," it started off as Katniss and Peeta going back into their daily life style back in District 12 after both of them won the 74th Hunger Games. Katniss would be hunting and Peeta would be baking bread, but they can't go back to their life style until they travel to each District showing their faces to the parents whose children they killed in the games. They also had to keep up with their fake relationship with each other because Katniss and Peeta used this strategy so they can both win the Hunger Games. If President Snow finds out that they weren't really in love, he would kill them. Katniss and Peeta would meet up with their stylist Cinna and Portia to help them look good. Haymitch and Effie their instructor helped them with their presentation for each District. But something shocking turns out, Katniss and Peeta ?????? well you need to read this to find out. Read this book if you are interested in the Hunger Games series because when you start reading it, you will never stop, I mean NEVER STOP.

I just had to write in to let you know how much I LU-UV using Mango through your site to learn new languages!!! One of my biggest complaints moving to the East Lansing area was that my 2nd grader did not get any foreign language studies like at her last school! The Mango link up is extremely easy to you & very intuitive even if you're not a techie! We have so many neighbors from different countries. My neighbor's mother is here from Iraq. During her visit they found out that she was quite ill and could not go home. My neighbor's poor mother has been so lonely as she does not speak much English. After all, she'd had no intention of staying. Just visiting her son & going back home. I can't wait to surprise her by saying Hi How are you? in her own language!!!

This book starts out with 2 farm families. The Fish (who grow mainly tomatoes), and the Carillons (who grow mainly potatoes). One Thanksgiving, they have soup, made out of potatoes, tomatoes, onions, and parsley. Mr. Fish and Mr. Carillon like the soup so much that they think they could make millions of dollars from selling it! The trouble is , naming the soup. They decide, at 5 & 7 yrs. the Fish’s daughter, Caroline, and the Carillon’s son, Leon would get married, and the soup would be called “Mrs. Carillon’s Pomato Soup.” After the marriage, Leon and Caroline were separated, and could never see each other until Leon was 21. When she came and saw Leon (who changed his name to Noel), she hugged him tightly. But a blonde woman dragged him away calling him by the name ‘Seymour’. Surprisingly enough, a man tapped Caroline on the shoulder, and said that he was Noel. On Palm Beach, when a boat crashed with Noel and Caroline on it, Noel, a few yards away yelled “NOEL IS SEYMOUR HALL. I AM NEWTON PINCKNEY.” But all Caroline heard was “Noel glub C blub all…I glub new…” Caroline hits her head, and starts to search frantically for her husband, Noel. Along the way, she adopts 2 twins, Tina and Tony, and gets put in jail, where she gets a bail. She buys an apartment in New York City, gets re-married to a man named Augie Kunkle. Every thing works out in the end. I like this book because some of the pictures are made with words, and this one woman in the jail that Caroline went to had a pet rat. I hope after this review you read ‘The Mysterious Disappearance of Leon (I mean Noel)’. So, Happy Reading!!!
